Gliding
&
Hiding’
presents
one
of
post-punk’s
maverick
spirits
at
her
finest:
Malka
Spigel
sprang
to
prominence
as
bassist
and
vocalist
with
the
legendary
Minimal
Compact.
She’s
also
an
internationally
acclaimed
photographer
and
video
artist.
Alongside
her
partner
and
long
term
collaborator
Colin
Newman,
she’s
also
one
half
of
the
electro-kosmiche
duo
Immersion.
The
pair
are
also
members
of
the
unique
art-pop
quartet
Githead.
Yet
often,
Spigel’s
most
personal
work
is
to
be
found
on
her
solo
albums.1993
debut
’Rosh
Balata’
is
a
contemporary
rock
album
sung
in
Hebrew,
with
1998’s
‘My
Pet
Fish’
showcasing
an
idiosyncratic
amalgam
of
rock
and
electronics,
whilst
2012’s
’Every
Day
Is
Like
The
First
Day’
is
a
full
blown
psychedelic
pop
record,
with
guests
including
Johnny
Marr,
Alexander
Balanescu
and
Julie
Campbell
(aka
Lonelady).Now,
’Gliding
&
Hiding’
gathers
together
Spigel’s
gorgeous
2014
‘Gliding’
EP,
with
reworked
tracks
from
the
1994
mini-album
‘Hide’.
The
result
is
a
collection
that
ranges
from
sunshine
pop,
to
minimal
breakbeat
techno,
all
the
way
to
blissed
out
rock.For
the
‘Gliding’
material,
Spigel
is
joined
by
Newman,
on
guitar
and
keyboards,
Ronald
Lippok
of
Tarwater/To
Rococo
Rot
on
drums,
and
Gil
Luz
and
Uri
Frost
of
Mambas,
on
keyboards
and
guitar
respectively,
with
additional
guitars
from
Julie
Campbell,
and
Matthew
Simms
of
Wire.
These
songs
began
life
as
live
recordings
from
a
gig
at
London’s
Lexi
ngton,
but
were
then
refined
in
the
studio.
Yet
they
retain
the
sound
of
a
real
band,
bouncing
off
each
other’s
considerable
talents‘Gliding
&
Hiding’
serves
as
a
career
overview,
whilst
the
reworked
compositions
prove
how
utterly
contemporary
her
sound
is.
If
you
are
new
to
the
delights
of
Malka
Spigel,
this
is
the
perfect
place
to
dive
in..Track
